Out of the Box Image of the Week Bob Miller for week ending Sept. 9th, 2011 - Cormorant Composite
Congratulations Bob!!!
This Cormorant allowed me to get pretty close so this is almost full frame. I then started playing around with it during processing. I first added a flypaper texture and painted the details back in the cormorant by masking . I then used Color efex pro - the reflector filter to bring light into the shadows and add some directionality to the light. I then tried my best to select a moon shot but found it to be very hard because the shadowed part of the moon blended too much with the black of the night sky. I then brought the moon into the cormorant shot and proceeded to size and position it to match the light. I kind of like the otherwordly look. I would like to remove the band on the cormorant but so far have not been happy with any of my cloning attempts. Suggestions?
All comments welcome!

Thanks for the all of the suggestions.....Here is a repost! I decided to eject the moon and brighten things up a bit! Still working on the clone of the band.
